  • Want to know what you will need to do this conversion to Brushless power besides the motor mount from How2RC, Well here it is nuts to soup, batteries, battery charger, pinion gear, motor, speed control for the motor. Single speed and One way Transmission kits from Traxxas, everything.

    This guy is awesome, he's got more knowledge about a T Maxx than anyone. I bought one of his moter mounts and it's worth every penny. The best thing I did was convert my T Maxx 3.3 to Electric. 👍🤟🤟

    I just completed my Tmaxx to Emaxx conversion. Yes, you need a motor mount, motor, pinion, and speed control. Also need the forward only and single speed kits, in my case the ones for the 2.5 version. I have chargers and batteries. But one item I found not mentioned is battery trays. I kept the steering servo and receiver in the original locations. I used the 775 mount and 775 motor and made battery trays from aluminum. Secured them on either side of the aluminum plate with counter sunk screws and used velcro for holding the batteries in the trays. I mounted the EVX2 on the elevated servo mounts and rotated the receiver box 180 degrees to get the antenna away from the wires as much as possible. I also had to lengthen the motor wires. I haven't ran this unit in over 14 years but seems like it runs very much like the nitro version. It is much cleaner and as much fun as I remember. Thank you for the motor mount.

    Hello! I appreciate your videos and website, I've found both to be a wealth of info, thank you. Price notwithstanding, which do you prefer- your brushless conversion or your newer 775 brushed conversion? It looked as if the 775 setup almost had more torque and equal speed, is that just my perception? Lastly, I have been trying to find a good esc that will work for your brushed conversion. Do you have a specific recommendation by any chance? I know it needs to be high amperage, take up to 4S (and of course 16v), any other criteria? Thanks! Ordering the motor mount soon.

    • @MattySlimz
      @MattySlimz 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Luiz Fernando Castilho I was thinking the same thing. Id like to keep the auto shifting 2-speed as well after the conversion but I just think the sheer amp burst of the brushless motor is going to level each and every tooth in the case. I think im going to look for a drop in alloy set thats identical to the plastic 2-speed and pray it works. I dont think I want to cheapskate out on this part of the conversion and get some cheap chinese pot-metal, I'd rather find a good brand that makes it (if they they even make a set at all) like Integy, I know Integy makes high quality alloy diffs and such . Everything must go metal from that point on including cv shafts, center shafts and diffs. The good thing about doing this conversion is, it almost forces you to bulletproof the whole driveline. This of course is all thought as Im noticing my Revo 3.3 is getting a little tired and am contemplating just getting a new nitro engine. If I do decide to do a electro conversion I'll be sure to do a build series containing each necessary part used in order to retain the auto shifting 2-speed.
